Toddler murder: 'Worst abuse I've seen'

A mother described by police as a "monster" has been jailed for life for murdering her two-year-old son.

Rebecca Shuttleworth, 25, of Cottingham Road, Manchester, was convicted on Monday, after a five-month trial, of killing toddler Keanu Williams.

Keanu, known as Kiwi, died in January 2011 after being found with 37 injuries in Ward End, Birmingham.
